Bug ID: 150586
Summary: Tables awkward to manage with new page generation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If I want to organize text in a table, using default font and spacing, and the
table exactly fits the page, the automatic newline after the table generates a
new page. There is no way to delete this new page without modifying the default
font or spacing in the table. And, of course, if I were to have a way to remove
the trailing newline, there isn't a command or key combination that will get it
back. Having used LO for a good 17 years, and struggled with formatting quirks,
it would be nice to have a way to explicitly control this behavior. I want LO
to be WYSIWYG, to do what I tell it to, but it is forcing its underlying
formatting on me. I would like it to behave more like HTML, and be able to end
the document or the page at the place I choose.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a table of one or several rows.
2.Fill it with text or newlines until the bottom border of the table reaches
the bottom margin, or gets close enough so that the blank paragraph after the
table overflows into a new page.
3.Try to remove the automatically generated new page.
Actual Results:
One cannot edit the trailing new paragraph. It is locked.
Expected Results:
I would like to be able to delete and add a trailing paragraph/newline at will.
I would like to be able to delete or suppress an empty last page, even though
the formatting of the previous page seems to push it into existence.
Reproducible: Always
